  Service leaders Rabbi Lenore Bohm, Michael Margolin, Lauren Korfine, and Faith Rogow will lead us in conversation about themes from the Book of Ruth. Drawing on the exquisite depiction of Ruth's life created by Mexican artist John August Swanson, we'll consider these aspects of Ruth's life and our own: Transition, Loss, Invisibility, Courage, Transformation, Fulfillment.

  A light Shavuot meal will be provided (blintzes, salad and cheesecake) and a song session led by Lauren and Faith will bring the evening to a close.

  Warm and welcoming, thoughtful and stirring. 

  Please RSVP for catering purposes.

  There is no charge. Donations are welcome.

  Join Lauren Monroe for this opportunity to Talk Torah (and the other books of the Hebrew Bible) – your questions will be our guide!  She will pick her favorites from the questions generated at her session in December, and we’ll go from there, generating more questions for future discussions.
  Each session is a stand-alone - no need to have attended the last one.

  Lauren Monroe grew up in the Reform movement, at Temple Beth Elohim, in Brooklyn, NY.  As a Jewish Studies major in college at SUNY Albany, she fell in love with reading and interpreting Jewish texts. Lauren received her PhD in Bible and Ancient Near East from the Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies at New York University.  At Cornell, she teaches courses in Hebrew Bible, Biblical Hebrew, Archaeology, and Ancient Israelite Religious and Social History. 

  Registration is requested.

  In person only.

  Members:  FREE

  Non-Members:  $9.00 per person

  Small Sparks:  Peter Beinart Video and Discussion

  Several TvO members have read and discussed Peter Beinart’s latest book:  Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza – A Reckoning. We found it very engaging and thought-provoking. 

  On Sunday, June 22 from 4-5:30, come to TvO to watch a brief video of Beinart talking about his latest book, intended specifically for Jews. Those of us who read it together will share why we found it so important.

  The event will be in person, and we are exploring the possibility of streaming it. Registration is encouraged but not required.

  To encourage more discussion, we will be facilitating a book group.  You can join it whether or not you come to the June 22 program, and coming to this introduction does not obligate you to join the book group.
